We might like some good, entertaining cringe on the screen (just think of The Office, The Rehearsal, and Borat), but we don't really like experiencing it in real life. In fact, 50% of Americans say they don't like being present for awkward situations, and 15% say they outright hate it.

Secondhand embarrassment is much more tolerable when we're far away from the situation. That's why here we have a compilation of people doing embarrassing and cringeworthy things so that you can scroll without having to feel like a turtle who wants to retract back into its shell. Laugh, wince, and cringe at these people's antics and be glad you don't have to experience them IRL.
